Longer-form draft.
During the Londonderry Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting on March 18, 2026, the Board approved several significant variances for a proposed 12-unit townhouse development at 3 Page Road and 556 Mammoth Road. These approvals allow the developer to place driveways and parking spaces within the 50-foot landscape buffer—a zone specifically designed to provide environmental and aesthetic screening in the AR1 district. The Board also approved a request to waive the requirement for permanent vegetation maintenance in these areas. This decision was not without internal disagreement. One board member dissented from the vote, arguing that the applicant failed to prove the legal requirement of 'unnecessary hardship.' The dissenting member pointed out that because the parking spaces are optional, they could be moved to accommodate existing rules rather than breaking them. Furthermore, residents spoke up during the meeting to voice concerns about how this increased density will impact traffic, noise levels, and general safety at the intersection of Page Road and Mammoth Road. Despite these community concerns, the Board proceeded with granting the variances. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/londonderry/zoning-board-of-adjustment/2026-03-18/ #MeetingWatch #LondonderryNH
